State-of-the-art


FOR EXPERIMENTAL AND ULTRALIGHT HELICOPTERS


Our new line of blades are made of 100% carbon composite. They are characterized by superb production quality and exceptionally low levels of noise and vibration.

 

Additionally, under normal operating conditions they have a long service life (at least 2500 hours—excluding, of course, a blade-strike, etc.), which significantly reduces operating costs.

 
 


Experimental and Ultralight Helicopter Rotor Blades:  available styles and sizes + base prices

The airfoil profile for the experimental/ultralight helicopter rotorblades is NACA23012 (see below drawing).
The 23012 develops high lift and relatively low drag, yielding a high speed-range index value. Further, the pitching-moment coefficient is very small.

RotorWay Exec and Talon Main and Tail Rotor Blades

Description: The airfoil profile for the RotorWay rotor blades is NACA23015. A metal leading-edge is used for greater protection. Note: the orignal RotorWay
blades were slightly wider than 7.5" chord to accomodate the trailing-edge rivets, but this was essentially "dead" space that diminished the airfoils efficiency.
With their various corrections in chord, CG, etc. the carbon-composite blades will significantly improve performance over the original blades.
